Los Angeles ABC affiliate refuses ad with gay families during Inauguration: 'Too controversial, families will be watching.'

Non-profit organization GetToKnowUsFirst.org produced five 30-second commercials featuring gay and lesbian families, with the message "Marriage promotes families. Support marriage equality." The ads, while not tied to any current election, are the result of California's passage of Proposition 8 in November. The group aired the spots in 42 of the states' 58 counties - everywhere the initiative passed by 50% or more - during Tuesday's coverage of the Presidential Inauguration.
